Other databases

Numerous useful databases have been developed in the frame of EU cooperation projects with Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the South Caucasus. Some are topic related, others provide information about experts, important research organistations or funding opportunities. Only databases that are accessible to the public have been included here. Select from a structured list to find the information you need.

Database of the Month

In March 2011 we launched the new category “Database of the Month” on this web portal. Following the "Project Coordinators Meeting" of IncoNet EECA in Bonn in November 2010, the idea to present databases developed by different EU projects related to EECA was born. Apart from these especially featured databases, the following list aims to offer you a variety of starting points for your research cooperation with Eastern Europe, Central Asia and South Caucasus.jump to Database of the Month

All Databases

How to browse: For your convenience, databases may be listed in more than one of the above categories, depending on their content: A database containing personal profiles of ICT researchers will be listed both under "Individual Researcher Profiles" AND under "Thematic Databases" in sub-category "ICT".
